The Savannah Disputation

Through Hilbe’s direction and the ensemble of designers and actors, we see a clear picture of the battle for faith in us all. While letting us laugh at a very deep issue of the dangers of dogmatic religious beliefs, Hilbe’s interpretation of Smith’s masterpiece leaves us all reflecting on our own belief systems and eating a bit of humble pie, too.- Deborah Anderson, offoffonline

Under Katrin Hilbe’s direction, the strong cast, Equity actors all, breathe life into Mary, Margaret, Melissa, and Father Murphy, and for all of their quirks, it’s a pleasure to spend the time watching them trying to figure out where they belong in the grand and mysterious scheme of things.- Howard Miller, Talkin Broadway

This battle of the Bibles opens with malevolent Mary, an observant Catholic, forcefully pushing Melissa, an evangelical would-be missionary, out the door and threatening to call the police if she ever returned. ...What follows is hilarious, enlightening and gripping. ... The performances were splendid, as was the direction by Katrin Hilbe.- Beatrice Williams-Rude, Theatre Pizzazz

A growing part of American society, stemming from the ethos of our current political leadership, eschews globalism in favor of isolation.As American artists we feel it is our duty to hold together the fibers of our interconnectedness. Our American problem of gun violence should not define us to the rest of the world.The importance of exporting our artistic works to European audiences is to demonstrate that we acknowledge the precarious fallibility of all our shared human endeavors.We all are consequences of an individual society’s trauma.
